Not sure about the cleaning cycles and other printer maintenance. With an older version (v6.1), I used the Epson Large Printer app to check on things from desktop, etc. The printer (Epson 7800 in Phatte Black mode) would show alerts about cleaning and other maintenance items on the printer display itself. So if an ink was running low, the panel would alert me. If the heads needed cleaning, the panel would indicate such. If the waste tank needed to be changed, again, the panel on the printer showed the issue. I rarely run the Epson app from the desktop, except if I needed to check on something specifically, which was very rare. Since I had to be at the printer anyway for paper loads and image collections, it is hard not to see the status on the printer LCD. Not sure how much fancier the 7900 or others are with respect to maintenance and such, but it is pretty easy to cycle through things on the printer as needed. Just my experience.any comments on the LL review of imageprint 8? used with the xx900 epsons?

i am curious how much of the printer maintenance gets handled by IP: cleaning cycles, etc
I'll second that.Don't often disagree with you Jack, but I will here.
Now I can't speak to the 2400 but I did do a comparison with my 3800, and the image quality visibly jumped ... so much so it was like two different printers were used.
I had everything tuned and profiled without the RIP, but a pal convinced me to at least try the Colorburst RIP (which isn't exactly the greatest out there), and WOW!
Again, don't know how the 2400 would do.
